"The Teradata(R) warehouse will give us a better understanding of our business by allowing us to go to one central location to analyze trends in sales and inventory," said Ken Watts, vice president of Information Services and chief information officer at AE. "By consolidating our information with this technology, we can better manage our large amounts of data. This data warehouse will be a key component in supporting our future growth."
In addition to the Teradata warehouse, AE purchased Teradata's Retail Decisions business-intelligence applications and Retail Logical Data Model, enabling AE to analyze transactions at both the broad-business and stock- keeping unit levels. As part of the complete solution offering, Teradata's professional services, customer services and customer education solutions were also purchased. AE will be using Cognos as its online analytical processing engine.
"AE needed a scalable data warehouse that could keep up with its planned annual growth rate," said Darryl McDonald, vice president of retail enterprise solutions for Teradata. "Teradata warehouses can do just that - grow as the business grows."
